Syzbot detected a NULL pointer dereference of nfc_llcp_sock->dev pointer (which is a 'struct nfc_dev *') with calls to llcp_sock_sendmsg() after a failed llcp_sock_bind(). The message being sent is a SOCK_DGRAM.

The issue was visible only with multiple simultaneous calls to bind() and sendmsg(), which resulted in most of the bind() calls to fail. The bind() was failing on checking if there is available WKS/SDP/SAP (respective bit in 'struct nfc_llcp_local' fields). When there was no available WKS/SDP/SAP, the bind returned error but the sendmsg() to such socket was able to trigger mentioned NULL pointer dereference of nfc_llcp_sock->dev.
The code looks simply racy and currently it protects several paths against race with checks for (!nfc_llcp_sock->local) which is NULL-ified in error paths of bind(). The llcp_sock_sendmsg() did not have such check but called function nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() had, although not protected with lock_sock().
Therefore the race could look like (same socket is used all the time): CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== llcp_sock_bind()
- lock_sock()
- success
- release_sock()
- return 0 llcp_sock_sendmsg() - lock_sock() - release_sock()
llcp_sock_bind(), same socket
- lock_sock()
- error - nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() - if (!llcp_sock->local)
- llcp_sock->local = NULL
- nfc_put_device(dev) - dereference llcp_sock->dev
- release_sock()
- return -ERRNO
The nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() checked llcp_sock->local outside of the lock, which is racy and ineffective check. Instead, its caller llcp_sock_sendmsg(), should perform the check inside lock_sock().

Syzbot confirmed fix, so this could be replaced with:
